query loop from other site

    hello,

    I have a multisite install with just 3 blogs (or sites?).

    On the main blog I would like to show the last 3 posts from a custom post-type of the second blog.

    I need custom fields too, so RSS parsing is not an option (as a side note: I can’t get RSS feeds for custom post-types). Is there a way to do a special query and then show my results with a standard loop?

    thanks

    3 sites 😉

    You can do that with the switch_to_blog() function

    Houston, we have a problem…

    I switched the blog but I don’t know why in the loop, when I try to get my custom taxonomy, I get a WP_Error object:

    global $switched;
switch_to_blog(2);

global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('post_type=custompost');
if ($myposts) {
    foreach ($myposts as $post) {
    setup_postdata($post);
    $myterms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'customtax'); // <- returns a WP_Error Object: Invalid Taxonomy

   ...
   }
}
restore_current_blog();

    Any advice?
